# Automated Arch Linux Installer
Well, not fully automated but a collection of scripts to help automating setting up Arch Linux with wayland and sway. This is a very opionated setup for me (pengux). Use this at your own risk!

## Usage
Follow the [Arch Linux Installation Guide](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide) until you have partition and format your file system. Make sure that the `/boot` is a [EFI system partition](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EFI_system_partition). Mount the file system at `/mnt` and then run:
```
wget https://github.com/pengux/aali/tarball/master
tar -xvf master
cd pengux-aali-xxxxxxx
find . -type f -name '*.sh' -exec chmod +x {} \;
cd 1_base
./run.sh
# Should now be in /mnt
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/pengux/aali/tarball/master
tar -xvf master
cd pengux-aali-xxxxxxx
find . -type f -name '*.sh' -exec chmod +x {} \;
cd 2_system_setup
./run.sh
# Login as normal user
su arch
cd /tmp/3_post_install
./run.sh
sudo reboot
```

| Name | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| MIRRORS_COUNTRY | If set, will only use mirrors from the specified country | all |
| SET_NOATIME | Set `noatime` for ext4 mount to [improve performance](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ext4#Improving_performance) | false |
Set these variables to a different value before calling the install script, e.g.:
```
cd 1_base
MIRRORS_COUNTRY=SE SET_NOATIME=true ./run.sh
```
#### System setup
##### Variables

| --- | --- | --- |
| SWAPSIZE | Size of the swap file at `/swapfile` in MBs | 4096 |
| TZ | Time-zone for system | UTC |
| LANG | System language | en_US |
| KEYMAP | System keymap | us |
| HOSTNAME | Hostname of system | arch |
| USER | System user | arch |
Example:
```
cd 2_system_setup
SWAPSIZE=32G TZ=Europe/Stockholm LANG=sv_SE KEYMAP=sv-latin1 HOSTNAME=mylinux USER=peter ./run.sh
```
#### Post-install
##### Variables
| Name | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| KEYMAP | Keymap for X11 | us |
Example:
```
cd 3_post_install
KEYMAP=se ./run.sh
```
##### Notes
- [Improve compile time](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Improving_compile_times) by using [ccache](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ccache)
- Install and setup [profile-sync-daemon](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Profile-sync-daemon) to manage browser profiles in tmpfs
